Three-year-old Victoria has a lot to to be thankful for, especially her Queensland heeler named “Blue”. The toddler wandered away from her home in Cordes Lake and next thing you know she was lost in the woods with only her t-shirt. Her parents soon realized she was missing and the search was on. 15 hours later she was found by searchers in a Department of Public Safety helicopter. They found her lying on the ground, face down. She had been lying amid the brush and rocks, with her feet frostbitten and her body in scratches. Blue was right at her side. Her four-legged buddy had been keeping her alert and warm all night.
Victoria was treated for mild frostbite on her feet and is expected to be fine. You are my hero Blue!
